Mohit Anchlia commented on CODEC-140:
-------------------------------------
I thought isBase64 would return only true for those strings that were
originally encoded to base64. For eg:
String b = Base64.encodeBase64(bytes);
Base64.isBase64(b); //return true expected
Base64.isBase64("Hello"); // return false expected since it wasn't encoded to
bsae64
I think isBase64 doesn't work this way as I thought it would?
> isBase64 returns true for any UTF8 string
